Linguistics vs. Language Science

When talking about world language issue, most writers are discussing it in linguistic way. Yet the target of linguistics is parsing symbols’ rows and decoding the phone in phonology, while the language science is comparing and evaluating the efficiency of world’s languages. They are totally different branch of study. For parsing, each language could has its own explanation but for language science, you have to find out the actions signals or movements that suitable for all human being. Beside, you will not be affected by any single language. On the contrary linguistics emphasis on the characteristic of a certain language. For this reason, linguistics always insists the independent of each language. As the language science is young (even Wikipedia don’t know what is language science), people keep discussing world language issue in linguistic way, and that is why until now the argument could not stop. 
The typical science means a simple, clear way to expression something by common sense. A good expression by demonstration turned common sense to science. The most common excuse for linguists don’t accept language science is that language is a complex system, no one can express it in a simple and clear way.
It was the same story that Isaac Newton faced when he expressed various physical phenomena in a simple and clear way. But today, linguists find a new way to against simple and clear expression. For more and more scientists experienced oversimplification will lead misconception. It is a mistake lead by the conventional thinking. The following scientists once recognized what Newton found, they want make themselves better than Newton and making thing simpler and simpler, until oversimplification.
But on the contrary, in the area of language study, since Aristotle, things was keeping to complicate, never turn to be simplification, in this case, you quote what the physician and chemist said it is ridiculous.
